Ben Haan 44045 Most classes find themselves in a bewildered daze during their Freshman year. But not the talented class of '47, The first thing we did was to elect class offi- cers. These capable ofiiicers turned out to be Bud Johnson, president, Larry Snively, vice-president: Jim Ellison, secretary, and Tom Alexander, treas- surer. Guided by these officers and our class sponsor, Miss Hazel Beatty, we launched out on our first year in high school. The first Freshman success came in March when we sponsored a Saint Patrick's Day Dance. This was undoubtedly one of the classiest dances of the year and was attended by an unusually large crowd, who all had a good time. The second Freshie event came in May when we sponsored a super swimming party. Freshmen were also seen in s-:hofl activities. The football and basketball teams saw the budding Freshman athletes. Bud Johnson, Dick Harris, and Roy Emerick proved that the Freshman Class could hold its own in football. Will Moore was the Freshie who proved his ability on the 'basket- ball team. But we Freshmen are not all athletes. Ann Modenbach, Bill Shaw, Tom Alexander, Roy Eme- rick, and Sally Groetzinger helped make that stir- ring band music we heard this year. Joan Goodwin and Norine McCurdy distinguished themselves by being the only two Freshmen in the Girls Choral Club. The Freshmen girls joined the Girl Reserves while the boys attended the Hi-Y meetings. This is only one chapter of the high school histcry of the class of 47 . The next three episodes, with the help of our fellow Freshmen from Emsworth, will be seeing us climbing toward the-top, so keep your eye peeled. We'll be there!

Say, where's the cake? Did you have to break that lamp? What happened to George? He's supposed to be on stage! These are some perpetual questions which cne would hear on the set of Holiday Hill, one of the efforts of the Dramatic Club. Helen Jones, Christine Cham- bers, Bobette Harris and Sara Jane Hollenback are some of the more active members. After triumph- antly demonstrating their own talents, they went to the Nixon to see Junior Miss. Well, as one producer to another, it was almost as good as ours! they commented later. There's a homer out to left field! This was the favorite pastime of the Sports Clubs. These clubs, under the respective leadership of Janet ball and still finds time for classical music? Bob Evans, who else? Who were some of the busiest girls of the year? Well, Claire Huber, Patty Anderson, and Sara Jane Hollenback were cer- tainly nct the secluded type! A new and different activity this year was the Hunting and Fishing Club, under Bill Utberg. Their club-room was the great out-of-doors, and the Emsworth student body was treated to wild life movies by this group on May second. On March twelfth our big Freshman Dance was held in cooperation with our Ben Avon classmates, and its success, we feel, was due to the fine help and advice of our teachers and the spirit of the class. Yes, we've had a fine start to our high school careers, and our goal is to make the best of our talents in the next three years.
